PERADI

What PERADI does

PERADI (Perhimpunan Advokat Indonesia) is the statutory national professional association for Indonesian advocates, established under Undang-Undang No. 18 Tahun 2003 (Law No. 18 of 2003 on Advocates). It is a private, member-driven non-profit governed by the Dewan Pimpinan Nasional (DPN) under Chairman Prof. Dr. Otto Hasibuan, S.H., M.M., and headquartered at PERADI Tower in Jakarta. The organization operates a nationwide network of DPC (Dewan Pimpinan Cabang) chapters covering every High Court jurisdiction in Indonesia, supported by parallel DKD (regional honor councils), KOMWASDA (supervisory commissions), PBH (legal aid centers), and a Young Lawyers Committee (YLC). It serves two primary segments: law graduates seeking certification, and licensed practicing advocates requiring ongoing professional standing, continuing education, and ethical compliance.

PERADI's core services form a regulated career pipeline: PKPA (Pendidikan Khusus Profesi Advokat) specialized education programs delivered both offline and online (PKPA Pola Daring) at partner universities; the nationwide UPA (Ujian Profesi Advokat) professional examination; oath-taking ceremonies (Pengangkatan Advokat) at each High Court; ethics enforcement through the Dewan Kehormatan Pusat/Daerah and Komisi Pengawas Advokat; continuing legal education via PBPA seminars and workshops; free public legal aid through the Pusat Bantuan Hukum; and international practice clearance via Certificate of Good Standing (COGS). Notable institutional milestones include the 2018 MURI record for the largest free legal consultation (1,050 lawyers in Surabaya) and Constitutional Court Decision No. 32/PUU-XIII/2015 validating its standing. Technology infrastructure is minimal — a content and announcement website at peradi.or.id — with no mobile app, API, or proprietary platform disclosed.

PERADI's revenue is generated through three streams: recurring membership dues from practicing advocates, UPA examination fees from certification candidates, and PKPA training fees from law graduates. As a non-profit professional body it does not publish financial statements and is not venture-backed or publicly traded. Strategic partnerships anchor its institutional reach, including core alliances with Mahkamah Konstitusi (election dispute training), BANI (arbitration), and multiple Indonesian law faculties, alongside minor MoUs with Organda, PPATK, and Cyber Edu Inkor.
